Choose the best advice for an office worker battling a possessed printer.

If the printer keeps giving you that weird error message, try ___ it from the wall and plugging it back in.

The correct answer is unplugging.

We use "try" + -ing (gerund) when we are experimenting with a method to see if it solves a problem.

"Try to unplug" means making a difficult physical attempt to pull the cord out (as if it's stuck in the wall).
